Facilitated Chat Room Discussions

Facilitated Chat Room Discussions are not currently being run at the moment. This page is an archive of the project.

Every week the Chat Room hosts group discussions facilitated (guided) by one or more members of the TeenHelp Staff. These discussions allow you to get together with a group of people who have had similar experiences to you, share your experiences and advise one another. The role of the facilitator is to keep the discussions healthy and encourage everybody to participate, as well as to share their own thoughts. Each discussion will take place two times so that those in different timezones are still able to participate.

How do you decide which topics to run?

FCRDs are run in rounds of a dozen topics. Each round has some 'fixed' topics that will occur frequently and some 'free' topics, which will be filled in from suggestions from both Staff and users. This helps to ensure that different types of discussion are spread out evenly and that some discussion subjects occur frequently.
